yello, This was the first convetion ive evere been to and i had the time of my life. i cant wait a whole nother year for this, are there any other kinds of convetions or somthing to do with cosplaying till then?

I have checked all over and I haven't really found anything else in NC. Im in fayetteville(THIS PLACE SUCKS) and I have been trying to get cosplay meetups by using meetup.com but unfortunately no luck so far. So I guess the only thing I can do till next yr's con is just get ready for college(NC A&T), continue with my writting(Los Libros/Hell Pages productions PM me if you want more info about that) and start working on my costumes for next yr.(if I don't now I won't start until its too late)....Damn....now that I look at it I guess I got alot to do.....

As much as I'd love to go to another con, either AWA or back to Otakon (went 2001 and 2002), we just can't afford to. ::sighs:: In the mean time however, we had a great time at Animazement and are already making plans for next year. We learned a lot about trying to walk around in costumes with a lot of jewelry and stuff because we ended up doing a lot of repairs before cosplay, so next year we're doing two costumes, one for cosplay and one that's practical for walking around the con. So that's what I'm gonna be doing at least as far as cosplay goes... there'll still be work and school (I'm starting my master's degree so that will probably be time consuming) and family and all that fun stuff.

I'm hoping for Otakon, but if that falls through, then AWA sounds nice. I dunno who I'd cosplay--probably Millia from Guilty Gear. I may even make a random Persocom outfit!! ^_^ I wanna make giant ears and fit a gameboy SP in one of them, with cords trailing from the gameboy to the ear. It would kick rocks.

I would like to make it to Otakon, but at this point the only con I'm certain of going to is next year's Animazement, since I went ahead and preregistered at the con ($25 vs. the $45 I paid this year isn't bad!). I'm thinking of AWA, since I have some friends who have said good things about it, or Nekocon, because they're both reasonably far away as far as time goes, but not that far in distance.

I might also be in Florida in July and able to steer my way into Metrocon, but that's up in the air. I'd really like to go to Otakon, since it's pretty much an ultimate con sort of thing, but I think it's too close to AZ, so I probably won't have the funds or the time. Then again, it is close to my birthday, so maybe I can maneuver it. Who knows.

As for the person who was asking about cons in North Carolina, there's Trinoc*con in Durham, from July 23-25. I don't know anything about it, really, because all I did was pick up a flyer at AZ, but from what I understand, it's more of a general science fiction convention than anime-oriented. Sounds fun -- I might actually be going to that one.
